The City of Edwardsville ordinances require solicitors to obtain a permit from the Edwardsville Police Department before engaging in solicitation, including door-to-door activities.

The Edwardsville Police Department maintains a yearly “Do Not Contact List” registry indicating addresses where the inhabitants do not desire or invite solicitors. This list is cleared on the first day of each year and residents must sign up again.

If you already registered in 2026, you do not need to register again this year. You are able to view the list of addresses at the bottom of the solicitor information website.

To register for the Do Not Contact List or learn more about the ordinance, visit our website http://cityofedwardsville.com/solicitor

As a reminder, a solicitor must have a City of Edwardsville permit on their person. You are never required to provide personal information such as your name, date of birth, or Social Security number. You are not required to show documents to a solicitor such as your power bill. If you have a complaint about a solicitor, you are always welcome to contact the police non-emergency line at 618-656-2131.

Edwardsville Police Announce Results of Memorial Day Enforcement Campaign

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – The Edwardsville Police Department issued numerous citations and made one impaired driving arrest as part of the recently concluded Memorial Day enforcement campaign. This effort took place from May 15-26 in addition to the department’s normal duties.

This annual campaign is aimed at increasing seat belt use and keeping roads safe during one of the busiest travel periods of the year. It resulted in one impaired driving arrest, six speeding citations, four seat belt citations and two citations for other infractions.

"One of our priorities during major holidays is ensuring that everyone reaches their destination safely," said Lt. Matt Senci. "While the campaign has wrapped up, our commitment to traffic safety remains a daily mission. We remind all drivers to buckle up, slow down, and always drive sober."

The “Click It or Ticket” initiative is funded with federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation. For more information on safe driving practices, visit: ItsNotaGameIllinois.com

Congratulations, Officer Brewer! Nice job!

Congratulations to Edwardsville Police Officer Ayden Brewer, who was honored recently with an Employee Excellence Award for helping an Edwardsville resident who was a victim of identity theft and bank fraud. A letter praising the officer's efforts was shared with Mayor Art Risavy and the City Council at Tuesday night's meeting.
"Over the course of more than a month, Officer Brewer devoted extraordinary time and effort to my case, which required extensive documentation, careful analysis, and the methodical gathering of evidence," the resident wrote. "The complexity and confusion caused by the thief's actions made this investigation particularly challenging. Officer Brewer approached every aspect of the case with exceptional thoroughness, ensuring that all information was carefully reviewed and fully considered when preparing reports and bringing the matter to resolution."
Congratulations and thank you to Officer Brewer for going above and beyond to assist a resident during a traumatic time!
